My apologies for the topic title - but this is the error that AVG is showing me. Consequently, I am unable to download ANYTHING - OTL, Word Docs, PDF files, etc. Will download, but after the "security scanning" is completed, all downloads show a security error that states a virus was found, and subsequently deleted.

Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.

The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.

Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.

Reboot your computer when done.

Note: Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you run it. Don't delete this folder...it will help protect your drives from future infection.

Do this step only once and your flash drive will be protected from now on. Run all other tools on infected PC.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.

Press Scan button.

It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.

The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Step 3

Please don't forget to include these items in your reply:

FRST.txt

Addition.txt

It would be helpful if you could post each log in separate post using "Add Reply" button
